"The little boy had pointed a banana at some other little boy and said, Pew pew.' My daughter picked up her banana, I guess in self defense, and said Pew pew, you're under arrest.' The rest is history," said Jachimowicz.

Well, good for them. If you want to know who to thank, that would be the Well Regulated Militia.

It's pretty common for students to re-visit their old schools, and they are not carrying bananas. Banana clips, maybe,

Dumb.

School admins really do leave a lot to be desired.

Glynn County is a staunch, republican stronghold. Does not get much "redder" than this.

Likely she would have been expelled if the banana was loaded.

We are so frightened of guns that we expel a kid for pointing a banana but my legally blind wife can buy an AR15 with her Braille Discover card. We Americans are dumber than our ancestors who came down out of the trees.

Zero Tolerance policies have always been misguided.

Funny, funnier that idiots would newsworthy it without taking a moment to consider the implication that a physical disabilities is enough to strip you of constitutional rights.

"Likely she would have been expelled if the banana was loaded."

If this had happened in the Midwest, they would have been using potatoes that were fully loaded.

Zero tolerance is just a misnomer for Zero discretion.
